Horus Temple : The Pylon

The Pylon

The Pylon was built to be 36 meters high and is decorated with the standard Deities and the warlike Reliefs of Pharaoh Ptolemy XII smiting the enemies of Egypt and is depicted as pulling their hair, ready to smash their skulls with the might of Egypt.

The Pylon’s walkway through to the Forecourt is flanked by 2 Statues of the God Horus in his animalistic falcon format.
